This strange object fell from the sky over Milwaukee, Wisconsin last week and smashed the roof of a van. (Image below). According to the van’s owner, Michael Robinson, the large, heavy object “looked like a barbecue grill in the snow” but smelled of diesel. Police hauled the thing away and the FAA didn’t respond to inquiries from a local TV station. From Mysterious Universe:
Fortunately, there are sites that track the re-entry paths of old satellites, rocket parts and space debris and it looks like Robinson’s space barbecue may have been a part from a Russian military “communications” satellite that was predicted to re-enter the atmosphere on December 19th on a path that would take it directly over – you guessed it – Mike Robinson’s van.
